And the rest of the time, too.

HM - there are good things happening over there - we are taking small steps and trying to fight against a generation of supression and oppression. War isn't pretty and it virtually NEVER goes to plan. There have been mistakes, surprises and accidents as well as losses - no doubt, but this has to happen.

Why? Because #1 something vague about 9/11, or something about freedom or something #2 something else, about forcing people to have the right to make their own choice, by God, whether they like it or not, or #3 something about vaguely "striking back" at Islam, by ousting a secular leader and replacing him with Islamic leaders (???) or #4 something like Moe said on the Simpons after he decided to get the mechanical bull instead of cable TV, you know "sticking with your decisions" just to help soothe your buyer's remorse...or is there a new reason "why this has to happen" that I haven't heard yet? Maybe, just to be ornery?

I guess it's pretty efficient that Bush went in without one, then.
